Scraping HTML is fragile -- yes you can do it with beautifulsoup4, e.g import bs4 soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(html_string) href = soup.find('h3').find('a').get('href') print(href) will show /url?q=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D9LjbMVXj0F8&sa=U&ei=ESCPVPD6NcT3yQS-04C4DA&ved=0CBQQtwIwAA&usg=AFQjCNGV1u7FshGW4K_Ffu0zLzwaW7sCzw or the like. However, the slightest cosmetic change to Youtube search results might break your application. Better to register your app with Google and use...

There are several things you could try: As mentioned in comments, the most efficient way is probably to use a lyrics API, such as http://api.wikia.com/wiki/LyricWiki_API. This would be fairly hard to do in VB.Net if you're not an experienced developer, but it might be possible with a WebRequest(). You could...

Apparently Google does not recognize the &hairsp; entity reference; you didn’t provide a URL, but it was rather simple to confirm the observation, searching with "hairsp" (with quotes). The way around this bug is to use the numeric character reference &#x200a or the character U+200A HAIR SPACE itself. You might...

If you are using the script element as data block, "the src attribute must not be specified". If the script element is not used as data block, it has to be "used to include dynamic scripts". But a JSON-LD document is not a dynamic script. For linking to another resource,...

You are actually referring to sitelinks, they are completely automated and not editable. Now your website first of all needs to have the title attribute in the tags defined, this will surely help the algorithm of Google to find them, but note that does not mean that this is the...

I tried using Jsoup and it worked, although the first few results include some undesired characters. Below is my code package crawl_google; import org.jsoup.Jsoup; import org.jsoup.nodes.Document; import org.jsoup.nodes.Element; import org.jsoup.select.Elements; public class googleResults { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{ //pass the search query and the number of results...

I didn't see index-follow tag in your html code. It's better to have it <meta name="robots" content="index, follow"> Also you can do two more things. Go to GWT > Crawl > Fetch as Google and submit some of your pages. Also click on the Sitemaps button in the left menu...

When you click on it, Google use JS to change the href attribute (ref_to_a_element.setAttribute('href', '/foo') to point to their own server so that they can redirect you through it and track your visit. It is the type of deceptive content masking that they penalise other people for....

If you would take a look at the Google results for a search query site:distancesbetween.com you would see 654000 results, which basically means that most of the links generated are indexed by Google. As Rob already mentioned, you can find links to the popular searches on the website and each...

You can sign up and download. There are also AOL Query Logs and MSN Query Logs which had been publicised as part of shared tasks in past 10 years. I'm not...

Google has implemented lots of safeguards to ensure that it's search engine can't be scraped. However, Google must still work, that's the whole point. So the best way to do google scraping I've found so far is to control a real web browser. There's Selenium if you want to go...

Ignoring the sorting issue and just concentrating on normalising the price metadata problem. You need a way to read the price from whatever metadata field it's in and create a new metadata field with a common name and the same value. There are a few ways to do this but...

Google Search may change webpage titles they show on their result page. You can’t control this. About your alt content: Is the page about "Logo Seminars", or does "Logo" mean that the image is the logo? In the latter case, you might want to remove "Logo" from the alt content...

There are no any problem.Don't worry! It is natural.Google can crawl both mobile and desktop elements and can detect difference of hidden content from mobile view and desktop view.

Google will use a number of approaches when building their databases and one cannot say exactly how you would get your site to register within google as a news sight. However you will notice the following meta information within many articles that show up on google news. <meta property="og:type" content="article"...

You need to float search bar container in order to align it with navbar menu items. For this purpose you can simply add pull-left (or pull-right) class to the search bar div. You will also need to set some fixed width like col-sm-6 for 50% width, otherwise it's 100% by...

Update: It was a bug in Google’s Testing Tool. The markup from the question (and Googles own documentation) now works again. So there’s no need for the following alternative. It’s not clear if this is just a temporary bug with their Structured Data Testing Tool, or if their documentation for...

I am the programmer of GoogleScraper. You can use the 'as_sitesearch' parameter when you use keyword files for your 1 million keywords. Just use GoogleScraper something like this: GoogleScraper --mode selenium --keyword-file you-keyword.txt --proxy-file your-proxies where the file you-keyword.txt looks like: site:yourdomain.com some sneaky words site:yourdomain2.com some other words ......

You can configure the Goolge custom search engine to only display search results. Then you only have to include the Google script on the results page, eg. results.html. On other pages you can place a generic search form with the results page as action: <form action="/results.html" method="GET"> <input name="q" type="text">...

No. Google will index an entire page's contents. there is no way to tell Google to ignore part of a page. There are black hat techniques, of course, but those just get you banned if you get caught and aren't worth the risk.

Google will choose your search results snippets from the following places (not necessarily in this order): The page's Meta Description tag The page's Open Directory Project (ODP) Listing Page content relevant to the search query This means that just because you have a meta description tag doesn't mean Google is...

I didnt see any mention of "Managed SMF hosting" on your pages, so why would you hope to rank for it ? http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.co.uk/en/uk/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf...

I noticed this is now working for petmd.com so, unless you changed anything, I suspect you just didn't give it long enough for Google to pick this up. To give some idea of the time frames involved for anyone else looking for this I'll note my experiences below (note this...

No, in your case it will not be perceived as a bad thing, because you are doing it for users, to describe your products. You are not trying to spam or manipulate rankings. By default, a microsite is not a bad thing for Google. It is not automatically promoted or...

Short Answer: Needed to disabled the "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" Long Answer: I added the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/ add-on in ff and it gave me this filter: google.com###iur this too didn't work till I disabled the "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" as I found posted here that this is done last and cancels...

Google--and any rational search engine--fudge the numbers, estimating how many results there are. It doesn't need to be perfect for a search engine. In fact, for them to actually enumerate the number of results would be slow and quite absurd, since most users don't leave the first page or look...

What you're trying to do is called web scraping, or trying to pull out content from websites by pretending you loaded a page through a browser, and then accessing the loaded content by looking into and picking out bits and pieces of the page's code. This can work quite well...

There are several reasons why Google isn't indexing your website. There are no links to your website. Google follows links on the internet to other pages. If there are no links to your website it won't find it. You are denying access to Google through the robots meta-tag or robots.txt....
